write the sum of interior angle of each polygon like traingle , quadilateral, pentagon , hexagon etc
Answers
Answer:
Given:
The sequence of an equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon and so on of regular polygons Number of side = 3, 4, 5 .
To find:
Sum of interior angles
Sum of exterior angles
1 interior angle
1 exterior angle
Solution:
Sum of interior angles
Sum of interior angles of a regular polygon of n sides
= n × [ (n - 2)180° ]/2
= (n - 2)180°
∴ Sum of interior angles of equilateral triangle (n = 3), square (n = 4), regular pentagon (n = 5), etc. are:
180°, 360°, 540°, .
Sum of exterior angles
Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon of n sides
= n × 180° - (n - 2) × 180°
= 2 × 180°
= 360°
which is free from "n".
1 interior angle
One interior angle of triangle, square, regular pentagon etc. are,
180°/3, 360°/4, 540°/5,.
= 60°, 90°, 180°,.
1 exterior angle
One exterior angle of triangle, square, regular pentagon etc. are,
360°/3, 360°/4, 360°/5,.
= 120°, 90°, 72°,.
